Description bharani 2008-09-30 10:04:38 UTC
XTest, Jemmy and Jellytools modules are not available in the update center for Netebeans 6.5 beta
Comment 1 bharani 2008-09-30 10:06:45 UTC
The NB JUnit and NBJunit IDE are also not available in Libraries. 
Comment 2 Alexander Kouznetsov 2008-10-03 12:37:16 UTC
Reassigning to autoupdate component for evaluation
Comment 3 Jiri Kovalsky 2008-10-03 13:27:16 UTC
Yes, these modules are not planned [1] for this Update Center.

Jirko, I know you are not responsible for this anymore but don't you happen to know why? Thanks!
Comment 4 bharani 2008-10-03 14:16:45 UTC
Thanks for the updatecenter wiki link. I would like to know how to test Netbeans bases modules and projects with the
these tools in Netbeans 6.5
Comment 5 Jiri Skrivanek 2008-10-06 09:23:43 UTC
I am sorry but I have no idea whether these modules still work, who maintains them and whether they are planned to be at
update center for NetBeans 6.5.
bharani, AFAIK you can test NetBeans 6.5 modules without XTest, Jemmy and Jellytools modules. See
http://wiki.netbeans.org/DevFaqUsingSimpletests.
Comment 6 Alexander Kouznetsov 2008-10-06 09:39:17 UTC
While XTest was dropped some tests still require Jemmy and JellyTools.

In my latest NetBeans 6.5 trunk version Jemmy modules are available with these Update Center settings:
Additional Development Plugins

Comment 7 bharani 2008-10-06 09:55:56 UTC
mrkam,

If I configure this update center will be be able to include Jemmy and jellytools in my test

jskrivanek,

Thanks for the wiki link. The wiki talks about 6.5M2. Is the new simpletest harness available in Netbeans 6.5 Beta

I use NetBeans to develop Pauker (http://pauker.sourceforge.net) and use the Jemmy module for GUI testing.
Now that I updated to NetBeans-6.5 I was really surprised that there is no Jemmy module available.
Is Jemmy deprecated? How am I supposed to test GUI applications from within NetBeans from now on?
(Adding this "Additional Development Plugins" URL that I found only in this bug report does not seem to be officially
supported...)
Comment 9 Alexander Kouznetsov 2008-11-24 12:53:06 UTC
Add Additional Development Plugins in Plugins Options:

Comment 10 rost 2008-11-24 20:33:20 UTC
Thank you for posting the link a second time. It was not necessary, I already found it when you posted it the first
time. :-)
My question/problem was something else. I try asking again in a different way, maybe it helps understanding my question...

Jemmy was always available as an official NetBeans module until NetBeans-6.1. It was more or less a "first class"
NetBeans citizen.
Now, after updating to NetBeans-6.5, Jemmy seems to be a non-supported, third class plugin that can only be installed
when you stumble over this bug report and see the link you posted.
This situation makes me wonder, if Jemmy is (or will be) deprecated. And if it is actually deprecated (what nobody
answered so far) what is (or will be) the officially supported GUI testing library of NetBeans?
Comment 11 bharani 2008-11-25 04:47:45 UTC
I'm not seeing Jellytools in the updates link. I have some plugins to be tested in Netbean for which I need jeelytools
for QA automation
Comment 12 Alexandre Iline 2008-11-25 06:41:00 UTC
Jemmy is supported.

It's been hard to maintain it in the NetBeans codeline lately, though, so, it has been moved to jemmy.dev.java.net.

See http://jemmy.netbeans.org/servlets/ReadMsg?list=announce&msgNo=3

The loop has not been finished yet, partially because I am limited in time, but mostly because of the fact that no 
changes are yet introduced into the code line. Once anything changes in java.net repository or I have some spare time 
(whichever comes first), I will do the rest of the work.

Shura.

too old, if it's valid for 7.0 or later - please reopen.
